How do you figure that?

Assuming this is the OP's only employment, it'll be tax @ 20%, PRSI @ 4% and USC @ 5.5% which totals 29.5%... so that means he keeps 70.5% of the increase in gross pay.

So 0.85 x 38.75 x 70.5% is increased take home pay of €23

If it's the OP's only employment some of the USC would be calculated at 1% and 3%?

Download the phonetax.eu app, put in your earnings over a year (38.75 hours x 52 weeks) and it will do the calculations for you

I'm calculating the marginal take home, of an increase from 18.5k to 20,150... for this purpose it's practically all USCable at the higher rate.

A €23 net per week increase tallies with my spreadsheet calculation (linked in my signature).

check your signature calcs again
if the man is earning 18437 in 2016 he takes home 17601 according to your spreadsheet and if he earns 20150 in 2016 he takes home 18529 according to your spreadsheet.

the difference is 928 euro which is 17.84 p/week

D'oh moment for me- AllTheDoyles is right.

I forgot that in 2016 there's a PRSI tapering relief which benefits low earners. My calculator allows for it but in the weekly calculations sheet (which isn't currently visible on the current beta release and on which I was relying when posting earlier) the relief isn't displayed prominently, so I missed it earlier with the €23 per week post.

So: in 2016, a gross of €18437 (€9.15 x 38.75 x 52 weeks) should net €17601 [including the benefit of PRSI tapering relief of €602 for the year]. If the gross goes to €20150 (€10 x 38.75 x 52 weeks), the net should be €18529 [after PRSI tapering relief of €316 for the year].

That's a net difference of €928 pa or €17.84 per week.
